La Arboleda

to work with, communicative, and super sweet. You rent the venue for the whole weekend, and you really get to feel like the whole place is yours. Chelsea is there if you need help and also provides the space so you really get to feel the venue is all yours. Chelsea also provides great, local vendor recommendations, and every recommendation provided are incredible vendors. You will not regret your decision to select La Arboleda as your wedding venue.

etting back to her. Our experience has not been a pleasant one and got very bad during this pandemic. We of course signed a "non refundable deposit" on our contract, however during these trying times everyone else has worked with us in refunding our deposits , except for La Arboleda, not only would they not consider even a "partial" refund, they stopped responding to us all together. Never any sympathy for a devatsated bride, would not return emails or texts. We were very kind to Chelsea in every way and all of a sudden we get a very "stern" letter from her attorney asking us not to contact her. It was so disappointing that she could not respond to us and was not willing to work with us at all. I would not recommend dealing with a venue that has no care at all about a situation as upsetting as this has been. Nobody could have predicted this and especially with all the travel restrictions my daughter is unable to get back into the USA at this time. Trying times for all, and dealing with someone with absolutely no compassion for anyone but themselves was a horrible experience.

ll of my changing plans and million questions were handled swiftly and professionally by Chelsea. When the COVID pandemic hit, Chelsea was incredibly understanding and helpful with moving our wedding date God knows how many times. We eventually decided on June of 2021 for our new date. We were able to move dates at no extra cost, which was refreshing considering everything else a bride normally has to deal with. Now two years later, with the pandemic still going on and our grandparents unable to travel, my Fiance and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to cancel our wedding at La Arboleda. Chelsea has been THE most understanding human in the world. I wish I could have had my wedding here. Let me tell you, the venue itself is incredibly gorgeous. Full of lush greenery, scenery, flowers, green grass, lights and beauty everywhere. The bridesmaids and groomsmen suites are so cute, perfect for getting ready with your girls and celebrating the night before your big day. The indoor reception area is gorgeous, perfect for dancing, toasting and eating, while still open to the outdoor area for games and photo ops. Although I heartbreakingly did not get to have my wedding here, I would HIGHLY recommend La Arboleda to any bride who wants the most beautiful and effortless wedding. And I can guarantee that Chelsea will be your new favorite human.

to work with. Our day could not have been more perfect!

e grounds are so beautiful with all there landscaping, you have flowers blooming everywhere waterfalls and a river. They offer you so much when you book this venue, table, chairs, fire pits, lighting, amazing bar, two suits ect…… I would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

e weekend and not feel like we’d driven all day and night to get somewhere we could breathe. Most importantly, it’s in central coast wine country and if you’re into Pinot Noir like I am, you’ll love being walking distance from incredible wineries. We came here wine tasting and one of my favorite wineries directed us to this venue for our wedding and it is seriously a hidden gem! The grounds are beautiful. The owners are really helpful and awesome to work with. They even helped me get great local deals from wineries and breweries they had connections with for our wedding. The whole weekend went by so fast. I’m so happy we chose this as our venue. We can’t wait to come back for an anniversary!

ned and it felt so easy! It was so nice to be able to do the rehearsal dinner, wedding and Sunday brunch all in one location. The other huge bonus was having the ability to bring in different caterers and vendors for each event to make it fun for both our families. We had so much fun planning the rehearsal dinner and the venue owners were so helpful. The online planning tools they sent us made it really simple to figure out table layouts and they even had their staff set it all up before we arrived. I definitely recommend this venue for a relaxing wedding weekend in Santa Barbara’s wine country.

nues, each one seemed to lack something, so we decided to just go look at La Arboleda in person. As soon as we arrived for the tour, we knew it was going to be the place we got married at. Not only did we fall in love with the layout of the venue (on-site Bridal and Groom suites, the most beautiful bar and dining pavilion, large dance floor, etc!), we instantly felt like we were friends with Chelsea, the owner. The entire planning process was so easy with them, and it never felt like a "business deal", like the previous venues we looked at. One of the other deciding factors for us was that we got the venue for 4 days! We made the most of this time and had our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and for weeks after, people kept asking how we found such a perfect place! Another bonus is that because the venue is SO beautiful, we didn't need to do much decorating and let the venue just be the most beautiful backdrop for our big day. La Arboleda helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives and we could not be happier that they are the venue we chose!

vorite aspects: - The pricing is straightforward and simple. You get the entire property, along with all the tables, chairs, etc. for 4 full days, which made setup and breakdown a breeze. AND we stayed on site, so we didn't have to worry about the logistics or cost involved in separate accommodations! - The venue is so beautiful on its own that we barely had to do any decorating. We kept our "theme" simple and rustic, with lots of DIY personal touches. Our guests loved it, and we loved doing it. - It's so unique. I can tell you from experience that you won't find another venue that has all the rustic feel you want but all the modern amenities as well. - Chelsea! Chelsea was so helpful throughout our planning process - from giving us insight/recommendations for local vendors to helping us come up with a rainy day plan. You can tell that this place means the world to her, and she gives each wedding the personal attention it deserves.

e venue for 4 days and 3 nights and couldn't be more happy. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner there the night before the wedding as well. The venue is breath taking and they have done such an amazing job at creating the best venue in the area. They are so sweet for creating a walk way for where I wanted the guest to enter. We couldn't have had our dream wedding if it wasn't for this venue.

be a great success! Location: It's a walnut orchard situated in the middle of beautiful wineries - it really can't be better. If you are lucky (as we were), you will get a chance not only to get drunk in multiple tasting rooms around the place, but also try some amazing organic walnuts! Another important location point, La Arboleda is 15 minutes from town of Solvang (read: touristy and expensive) and about the same from Lompoc (local, budget, but still nice). Our wedding guests were able to choose from accommodations that fit any budget and style, which we found extremely helpful. Venue: Specifically build for weddings / events with a lot of creativity and taste. Classy or rustic style – can be decorated either way. Quality and professionalism: As I mentioned earlier, it's a family business, and we were their first official clients / wedding. I have to say I am very impressed with the Chelsea and her family. We got a very personal treatment, quick responses to all our requests and they even made customized changes for us. For example, per our request on a short notice they changed restroom building entrances to a rustic barn doors (the restroom building is very central and restrooms would end up on most of our pictures). With the changes it looked as a natural part of the setting. We were treated and felt like we are a part of their family. As we were planning and setting up the wedding ourselves, this personal touch made a huge difference in our experience. Pricing: Very competitive and very thoughtful. The cost is on a lower end for the area. It’s not only the price; it’s convenience and reduced stress that makes it so great. Their price INCLUDES tables, chairs, heaters, barrels, etc – all the major additional expensive rental pains at every other locations we’ve checked. They have a large pavilion, so you won’t need to rent a tent either. And their tables perfectly match the setting btw! Almost forgot, it includes a bride and groom cottages on the premises that fit 4 people each (in case 1 bride and 1 groom is not enough for you). On a serious note, it was very helpful as we brought a few friends to help with the setup the day before the wedding, and we all had a place to stay and hang out. The place was in the last phase of construction in early November, so it should be all beautifully finished by now and ready to go! Yes, it’s still brand new even after our wedding. Thank you, La Arboleda! We had a great experience working with you and an amazing wedding!

ds around and even a fish-filled stream & rotating water wheel right on the property. The staff of La Arboleda were immeasurably accommodating to all of our needs, and given that it was a night-time winter wedding, were many. A large performance stage was perfect for our DJ to play music all night long, but I could easily see a full band rocking out on stage, and since we were out in the country we didn't have to worry about sound ordinances as we danced the night away. Spanish-style casitas allowed us to have plenty of options to have separate photo, gift, and cake areas as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place, and could even see us doing something again here in the future.

and couldn't have been happier with our venue selection. We can't wait to come back here years from now to do vow renewals! Also, the venue owners were really easy to work with and very helpful.

ue set itself apart with it's spacious yet intimate ambiance and picturesque location. We were able to have a full bar and there was no 10:00 pm music restriction. I would highly recommend La Arboleda for any wedding, we received so many compliments during and after the wedding.
